Duc Chien was assigned to take the penalty after The Cong Viettel 's center back Bui Tien Dung pulled down Gustavo in the 37th minute. On the 11m mark, the Binh Binh Club midfielder made no mistake, opening the score for the home team.

After scoring against his former team, Duc Chien had a wild celebration - something rarely seen in football. Many people think that the Ninh Binh player wanted to "show off" to The Cong Viettel when the two sides had a transfer scandal at the beginning of the season.

"I am very happy and excited to score a goal for my team. For me, celebrating today is the biggest respect I have for both teams.

The past cannot be changed. We cannot predict the future. Right now I am a player of Ninh Binh. I enjoy it. I scored and I am happy about it," Duc Chien said.

Regarding Ninh Binh only having 1 point despite leading and having one more player from the first half, Duc Chien explained: "We were overwhelmed by the spirit of The Cong Viettel players. When Ninh Binh scored early and had one more player, they made mistakes. The team retreated deep and gave the field to the opponent. Actually, The Cong Viettel is still a very strong team.

For me, football has wins and losses. We cannot predict anything. Ninh Binh entered the game as a rookie, not a top team. So sharing points with a strong team like The Cong Viettel is not too bad," Duc Chien concluded.
